Thanks for your reply. We've found it easier to use LINQ to xml instead ado dataset. As such we can easily dig out the attributes. We can take the approach you've suggested, It'll just take a couple of extra lines code.

Hi LaCrews

Good suggestion...unfortunately it is not going to be done at this time. For the select XML methods you will need to check whether the MethodIntegration node has children. For the select dataset methods need need to check the row count of the first datatatable of the dataset

Is it possible to get an attribute that is a count of the number of records in the returned xml? This would be especially helpful when the call is successful but no records are returned and no record tags are in the xml.
